CLTV Health Watch: 5 Easy Ways to Boost Your Immune System Your immune system is a process of checks and balances that helps fight and protect the body from disease and illness. It’s possible to naturally boost your immune system and easier than you probably think. Here are Hansen’s top five ways to jump start your immunity:... 1. Eating a well-balanced diet. Foods can certainly boost the immune system. Specifically, try to eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy products and lean protein. Also, fit in foods with omega-3 fatty acids, like eggs, salmon and avocados, as well. All these foods will not only build up parts of your immune system, but can help you maintain a healthy weight. 2. Drinking plenty of water. Water intake can have many positive benefits for your immune system, including but not limited to aiding in digestion and preventing possible pathogens like a virus or bacteria from getting into the eyes, nose and mouth. Staying hydrated helps all the body’s defenses function properly. 3. Prioritizing exercise. Moderate-intensity exercise can help maintain a healthy immune system. But, exercise that’s too intense, especially if you’re already feeling under the weather, can have the opposite effect and lower immunity. 4. Getting enough sleep. If you get enough sleep, it will help your body fight off sickness and help succeed at the tips mentioned above. Adults should get between 7-9 hours of sleep each night. 5. Increasing vitamin intake. Vitamins B6, C and E are all known for their immune-boosting properties. You can get all of these vitamins from a well-balanced diet, so you don’t need supplements. Some foods rich in these vitamins include eggs, bell peppers, spinach and almonds. Vitamins B6, C and E have been shown to help boost your immune system, Hansen says. If you are lacking some of these vitamins, a supplement could help support your immune system. But, your body can only absorb so much of any vitamin in a given day. So, if you are taking too many of these vitamins, you’re going to get rid of the extra in your urine. Supplements can cause side effects as well. If you’re considering taking extra vitamins to help your immune system, Hansen recommends checking with your provider before buying any supplement, as these can interfere with your regular medications. https://www.unitypoint.org/livewell/article.aspx
